This guitar method focuses on playing engaging rhythmic themes entirely on open strings. What seems at first to be a simple task quickly becomes a real challenge, requiring a high level of accuracy and an excellent sense of rhythm. While the picking hand can only play what the other hand has prepared, nothing musical will happen unless you pluck the right string. Sven Niers exercises and tunes offer motivating, effective training to facilitate hitting the correct string with precision, winning half the coordination battle. While the audio examples are recorded on an electric instrument, guitar teachers and beginning students in all styles will appreciate this innovative book. Includes access to outstanding play-along online audio with and without the solo part.

I met for the first time the refined Finnish composer Kai Nieminen in Milan (Italy), although we had been in touch for a while before. It was that very trip which provided the inspiration for this composition dedicated to Bruno Munari, one of the most renowned XXI century Italian artists, who lived and worked in Milan. In particular, the work that inspired this composition, displayed at Museo del Novecento in Milan and characterised by swirling lines enveloping torn-out music scores, suggested the mysterious atmosphere of this piece and the subheading Un telegramma dal paese dei sogni (A telegram from dreamland). The composition can be divided into four sections and displays a wide variety of harmonics, cleverly enhancing the polyphonic resources of the guitar. The very first bars introduce the main themes of the composition: particularly, at bar 7 it is possible to recognize a Bach quote from Das wohltemperierte Clavier (II book, ndeg24) recurring frequently in the piece and appearing also in the painting. Meno mosso (bar 51) opens with a ghostly song accompanied by drum-like effects that recall the primitive sound of the shamanic Finnish drum. Fast sixteenth cascades dotted by harmonic sounds open the fourth and last section at bar 66 (Capriccioso, movendo), alluding to a mysterious telegram sent from another dimension.
